Vodcast Ideas

Making the video Basic Tripods can be used but are not necessary. Check the lighting of the room. Garage lights

from Walmart are helpful and inexpensive if needed.

Participants should speak up. Some kids have the tendency to speak softly.

Better planning means less editing. Download the video to your computer by

connecting the USB arm of the camera to the connection on the computer. Save it as a wmv.

Editing Although the flip camera comes with video

editing software, windows movie maker software is excellent. It’s a free download: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/mmcreate.mspx

This is Movie Maker 2. Movie Maker 3 works with Vista.

on the Teacher Web Site.

Go to the Photos and Docs section and browse to locate the video. Select and insert the video into the blank.

Enjoy.
